I Drank Apple Cider Vinegar Every Day to Lose Weight and the Results Were Shocking

When I think of apple cider vinegar, my face immediately makes that distorted “sour” expression and a wave of heebee-jeebees washes over me. Which is why I don’t typically fancy myself a shot of it first thing in the morning — or, ever.

That said, apple cider vinegar has an astounding amount of health benefits. Though I do wish I could just spritz myself with ACV and call it a day, the health benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar are far greater than my overall hatred of its taste. Here’s what happened when I drank it to lose weight (plus, we’ll look at some common apple cider myths you should know the truth about).

1. I felt less bloated

Since I couldn’t stomach the taste of ACV in the morning, I decided to mix a shot of it into ice cold lemon water. The lemon and chill factor helped mask its flavor and actually made the process somewhat enjoyable.

One of the first things I noticed was my bloat — or, lack thereof. I am someone who, unfortunately, gets bloated very easily, to the point where I don’t even notice it half the time. And, while I may not always notice my bloat, I definitely noticed when it disappeared.
